It is common that people easily talk about their physical health. And thankfully, conversations of mental health are beginning to happen more regularly. 

Yet we rarely talk about our spiritual health—which might be one of the most important health aspects to talk about.

As a mental health therapist I can tell you that all aspects of your health affect you

If you’re struggling physically that will affect your mental and spiritual health 

If you are struggling with your mental health that will affect your physical and spiritual health. 

In this episode of the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I am sharing why it is so important that we address ALL aspects of our health to have success in any of them.

I am finally hiking the Rim to Rim trail of the Grand Canyon. A 24 mile 6,000 ft elevation change hike in one day. I have been preparing for months and luckily I am taking my brothers and their spouses along with me so the prep work has been fun and encouraging.

If you go back and listen to these episodes, you will see that I was inspired by an amazing woman Abi Ayres that I interviewed to do this hike. When I was listening to her tell her story of the hike I clearly heard the Spirit tell me I had to do this hike.

Then, as I was questioning the Spirit why I needed to do such a thing, the Spirit told me this was not a physical goal, this is a spiritual goal.

Unfortunately, many people hold the idea that all hardships and trials we face are a result of sin. But that does not align with the Savior’s teachings. He taught, in John 9:3, “Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”

If we go about trying to prevent those inevitables from happening we will feel even more pain, stress, disappointment, fear, failure, and not good enough. 

It’s not about just sitting aside and saying ok then, I will just let bad things happen and do nothing.

It’s about fortifying yourself for the future, preparing for those times to happen and what you will do.

In this week’s episode I discuss specific steps we can actually take to fortify ourselves.

My Spiritual Survival Course will help you implement those steps into your daily life. Use code PREPARE at checkout for 50% off!

David did something that fateful day that not everyone had the courage to do. HOW?

He went WITH Christ, our Heavenly Parents and the Holy Ghost. 

He allowed Them to help him defeat the giant.

He didn’t dive in by himself or shrink to the task because of his feeling of inadequacy.

He allowed Christ to author his story and be His hands.

We also have giants in our lives that need to be fought and we need to know how to do that.

This episode will teach you how to do that!

Why do I love what I do? Let me tell you. THESE WOMEN RIGHT HERE!

In today’s episode I am sharing the thoughts of women who have actually gone through my Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group Coaching Program.

In their own words they share how the program has helped them to receive personal revelation, handle difficult situations with their children, calm their minds, and understand that they are not alone in their struggles. 

One woman stated, “I just feel God’s hand in everything I am doing.”

What has changed for her spirituality? “Having that knowledge and dropping that guilt if I am not perfect.”

And so much more! Listen to their stories and experiences today.

God has often introduced Jesus Christ as His Son accompanied by the phrase, “Hear Him.” This charge to follow the Savior and hear Him in our lives is one of great importance.

It can also feel overwhelming at times.

These are moments when I remember the teaching from the Book of Mormon, “by small and simple things are great things brought to pass.”

Dieter F. Uchtdorf also teaches this, “Isn’t it interesting how small, seemingly insignificant factors can make a major difference in our lives? Most of the changes in our spiritual lives—both positive and negative—happen gradually, a step at a time.” 

Let’s dive into that and find ways we can make small changes in our lives that will help us “hear Him” more.

"I am going to do this for myself. I am going to hike Rim to Rim because I can. I want to prove to myself, to my body, that I am capable." ~Abi 

Join me today as I chat with the hilarious and inspiring Abi Ayres. In today’s episode she shares her experience of hiking in the Grand Canyon and how the physical and mental challenge was also intensely spiritual.

I am now prepping for that same 26 mile hike and Abi is the reason. Her experience inspired me to do the hike and I knew right away that my journey, even the prep, would be spiritual.

Abi’s experience brings about all the feels. We laugh AND cry as we discuss hiking, friends to support us, the love of Jesus, and how they all work together!
